Undoing the harm caused by this administration - massive censorship & intimidation of media outlets at home, and transnational repression of international bodies & civil society abroad - is going to absorb a lot of time & effort in the next presidency.

The full Weiss memo is dogshit
-who cares if administration figures “regret” sending people to CECOT
-who cares about the criminal histories of the people we sent to CECOT, we sent them to a torture prison
—who cares about the “debate” over the legality of sending people to a torture prison

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

The murder of CBS News by Trump operative Bari Weiss means it even more important for the BBC to contest Trump's specious "defamation" lawsuit in Florida. American journalism has collapsed. The rest of us need to double down.

The CBS reporter who led the story calls pulling it a "political" decision.
"The decision was made after Bari Weiss, the new editor in chief of CBS News, requested numerous changes to the segment."
